So
What you had at six o'clock on the 24th of June this year when these two earthquakes struck was a country that has been completely brought to its knees.
The country that cannot take any more people who really feel they deserve a break, they deserve a better future.
And I think most people just cannot believe that Venezuela has suffered yet another sucker punch like this.
It's just devastating.
I think to many Venezuelans who you speak to in the disaster zone, it tells you that she does not have what it takes to lead this country and that the government's response has been feeble.
In some cases, at least, criminal.
We've seen video footage, for example, of members of the police digging through the rubble and apparently stealing money from destroyed buildings.
And several police officers have this week been sacked for doing that.
Yeah, I mean, just unbelievable at such a traumatic time.
So I think many, many people think that it is, you know, another sign of what an illegitimate government this is.
This is not a president who has been elected.
So people see this as a government with no legitimacy.
What is this government relying on for its future?
Well, the White House, Donald Trump.
So we have seen a significant U.S.
response.
When I was down in La Guaida, the air was filled with the constant sound of U.S.
helicopters and offsprays cruising along the shoreline.
Field hospitals have been open.
